Hi Guenter,

Thanks for your review.

No sure but regarding the data sheet, it is a valid value for ppr:
https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX6639-MAX6639F.pdf
Page 16, Table 10

In my view we should keep it, since the IC does allow this values to be
set accordingly.

Sounds great. In this way we could get rid of get_pdata_from_dt_node
and make it easier to add additional proprieties in future.

I'll adapt v2 to implement this change.
